Biography

Dr. Liu is interested in understanding the anti-obesity neurocircuitry in the brain including the functional role of NMDARs/dendritic spine-driven plasticity in feeding circuitry and brain regulation of peripheral tissues. He uses conditional, neuron-specific genetic engineering techniques (Cre/loxP recombination) to regulate gene expression in the mouse brain. Dr. Liu completed a three-year postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Bradford Lowell at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School prior to his joining Dr. Joel Elmquist as a postdoctoral fellow at UT Southwestern Medical Center in 2012. Dr. Liu holds a B.Sc. from Jilin University and a PhD from the University of Toronto.
